THE "WRAPPING" OF PENTECOST
We must put this in proper perspective. Those who see Pentecost's main significance as miraculous powers are missing the new thing that was being done, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
It is like someone who receives a beautifully wrapped birthday gift. After

The “Captain of the Lord’s Hosts” is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. We call this a CHRISTOPHANY.
The word translated as, “Angel”, is another word for “Messenger” and does not limit the Divinity of Christ or make him a mere angel.

OBJECT LESSON: HOLY SPIRIT
I have a children's sermon to try to explain the Holy Spirit. It isn't original to me or to the first person I heard use it, but I think it's powerful.
I take an empty glove and tell the kids that it's a magic glove. I tell them it is amazing because it can pick things

Describing the new movie, Venom, Greg Morse writes:
He was a journalist once. Eddie Brock investigated corruption, fought on behalf of the oppressed, and tried to make a difference in the world. He was trying to take down evil - until he was "taken" by it.

Clark Pinnock (Flame of Love, chapter 5) “salvation is union, conversion is awakening to love… Love woos – it does not compel. Conversion is not coerced. God convicts and moves us towards intimacy. His Word is powerful, but there must be a response to it. God does not overpower but saves those

Do you any of you remember Bruce Lee?
He was a world-champion martial artist and an actor,
and he had a fighting style unlike any other
because he developed it himself.
In demonstrations, he often exhibited

On a lighter side here are some things that wise people like me like to ponder:
1. Why is there a best before date on Sour Cream?
2. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all"?
3. Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
